How it works

How Shark Snip Works

A complete walkthrough from free signup to Research Pro analytics.

Four steps

  1. Sign up

    Free account in 10 seconds — no credit card. You land on a feed of every house pick we publish, ranked by edge and CLV history. Paid tiers unlock the builder and more model slots.

  2. Pick a model

    Each pick is tied to a named model with a public methodology + ATS/Brier/CLV track record. Follow ours, or build your own in the no-code Lego builder.

  3. Place bets

    We never hold your stake. Tap a pick to see fair price, recommended Kelly stake, and a one-click deep link to your sportsbook, peer-to-peer pickem app, or event-contract venue.

  4. Track your record

    Every pick view is logged, settled, and rolled into your dashboard. CLV, ATS%, Brier, wins and losses — all auto-graded against closing line. Test a model out-of-sample, compare two models, or share your card.

Shark Snip takes you from a free browser-based model to verified results, public model discovery, and full Pro analytics.

Short version

  • Build and backtest on your own device for free.
  • Browse public models, fork their architecture and features, and remix them with your own data.
  • Compare eligible signals in Consensus.
  • Pro is $1 for your first week, then $2.99/week (launch offer through March 1, 2027). There is no monthly or annual plan.

1. Start free

Create an account and open the model builder. Choose a sport, outcome, data window, and features. Training runs in your browser, so on-device building and backtesting are free.

2. Validate the model

Use backtests and calibration metrics to compare predicted probabilities with resolved outcomes. Save versions, inspect misses, and change one assumption at a time.

3. Browse, fork, and remix

Public model cards show available methodology and verified performance. You can fork a model's architecture and feature choices, adjust them, and retrain with your own data. Forks do not copy trained weights or private data.

4. Use Consensus

Eligible models contribute signals to Consensus. Weighting reflects verified performance, and no single model should be treated as a guarantee. The full view includes agreement, dispersion, and divergence analysis.

5. Choose access

  • Free: $0, on-device building and backtesting.
  • Pro: $1 for your first week, then $2.99/week (launch offer through March 1, 2027), with unlimited model training and cloud compute.

There is no monthly or annual cadence.

6. Keep control

Cancel from account settings. Your saved models remain in your account if you move back to Free, while paid access ends with the current billing period. You can export supported account data from the product controls.

FAQ

Is Shark Snip a sportsbook?

No. We are an analytics platform — we model prices and ship picks, but you place every bet at the sportsbook, peer-to-peer pickem app, or event-contract venue of your choice. The platform never holds your stake.

How are the house picks generated?

In the browser, using the same TF.js + Bayesian regression blocks the no-code builder exposes. We re-train daily on nflverse, NBA play-by-play, and statcast data; each /picks card links to a methodology page and to the exact blocks that produced it.

Can I build my own model?

Yes. The Pro tier unlocks the no-code builder at /build, which handles both authoring and validation. Your models are private to your account — train, test out-of-sample, and run live picks from any model you build.

Do I need to subscribe to use the platform?

No. /picks, /blog/learn, and /guides are all free. Paid tiers unlock real-time picks, Sharp calls, DFS optimizer, and the no-code model builder.
